    The big clue is really in the original question. Modern day problems, I'd say, certainly nothing to be proud about... if they were my local team I'd probably move! Or at least switch allegiance to a club with a more rounded approach! I'd give the answer but I'm struggling to come up with a worthwhile question at the moment!!

    Is it the renaming of a club to Flat Earth FC, because the president, a former footballer, believes this? He said that they are the only club in the world not defined by location.

    That's it Andy; Flat Earth FC. Their president doesn't believe that I am walking around upside down to him.

    Which was the first 2019-2020 Premier League team (in its current guise) that we played in a league match?
    As per the bracketed bit, Thames Ironworks, known now as West Ham United, does not count, although it was the first otherwise.

    I remember a game in 1886 when we played Luton Town, and beat them 0-3. Was it earlier or later than that match. Peacock, Sargent and Valentine scored for us if I remember correctly. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    After that, and of course Lootown have never been, nor are ever likely to become, a Premier League club. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Correct. We played Totteringham Hotspur for the first time (in the Southern League) on 6th October 1900.

    We beat them 2-1. :1980_boogie_down:

    Over to you, mate. <ok>

    I’ve got to do some work, but I believe this has something to do with ‘Old London Town’.
